I’m sick of all the superdelegate talk. Here’s a typical superdelegate Internet or TV conversation: If the superdelegates steal the nomination from Obama, it will destroy the Democratic Party. It’s a fair argument, but this scenario won’t happen unless Obama and his pastor tag-team a 14-year-old at a polygamist compound. Don’t worry paranoid Obama supporters,…
I’ve been playing around with Pandora for the last week or two. Pandora lets you create multiple Internet radio stations. You start by entering an artist or song you like. Pandora will play similar artists and learn your tastes as you “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” songs. You can add more artists to your station…
I went to the Kansas City Roller Warriors Saturday night with Heather, Amanda and their Chris Cakes brethren. I haven’t attended too many odder things. Popping a squat? I’ve seen Roller Derby on TV before, but never in person. This guy needs to be available for rentals I couldn’t make out any faces from where…
The Royals improved to 1-5 in games with me in attendance, thanks to Friday’s Buck Night game. If you aren’t familiar, the Royals sell hot dogs, small sodas and peanuts for a dollar on Buck Nights. Hot dog wrappers flew onto the field. The grounds crew got to play “Janitor.” Here are some loud jackasses…

We got free tickets to the Royals doubleheader last night. Geoff, Kevin, Dan and I hung out in the parking lot for the first half of the first game before going inside. My camera took a bit of a beating last night. After I took the above shot, I tried to take a timed shot…
I went to my third Royals game of the year last night. The Royals are 0-3 in games with me in attendance. They’ve lost five in a row. Last night’s game was particularly rough. Cleveland beat the Royals 15-1. The good news is I have a douchebag usher to tell you about. The Douche Usher…
I have a difficult time parting with expired milk. I have about two glasses worth of milk that expired four days ago. Usually, I notice the expiration date approaching and will finish the gallon no later than two days after expiration. I’ve never known this two-day-expired milk to taste/digest questionably. I should have seen this…
Stephen Hawking, badass: “If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before.” Hawking compared people who don’t want to spend money on human space exploration to those who opposed the journey of Christopher Columbus in 1492. “The discovery of the New…
I don’t know why, but OG George Bush with his mammoth tarpon catch is a disturbing picture. Am I the only one who tried to look up Bush’s shorts?
From my blog in November: Almost five million Totino’s and Jeno’s frozen pizzas with pepperoni toppings are being recalled because the pepperoni may be contaminated with E. coli. Tonight, when I loaded my supreme Totino’s Party Pizza into the oven, I noticed a change on the package. Yes, Totino’s assures the quality of this fine…
I find this banner from washingtonpost.com a bit beyond stupid. “Pope Watch” reminds me of this Onion article on Catholics lining up for Pope John Paul II’s funeral before he was even close to dying. “I don’t know how much longer I’ll have to wait, but whether it’s five days or five months, it’ll be…
Unless something epic happens in there soon, this will be my last post about restrooms for awhile. Promise. A restaurant that has a sign like the one below has employees that don’t wash their hands. That is all.
Royals pitcher Brian Bannister shares AL Player of the Week with former Royal Raul Ibanez. Bannister was the AL’s rookie of the month last year in June and August, but this is his first award as AL player of the week. He is 3-0 overall with an 0.86 ERA. Posnanski reminds us of his hatred…
The last week for this blog has been all about toilets, the Royals, toilets at Royals games, and today it’s about toilets at bars while watching the Royals. Unlike recent years, I’m not in a position to talk about the Royals being in the toilet, so that theme will thankfully have to wait. We went…
We went to the Royals game Saturday night. It was cold. We tailgated three hours before the game. Highlights – A very obese, yet not quite Mangino-sized, man tailgated 50 yards away. He wore navy blue sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt. – We were at the game three hours early, yet didn’t get in early…
I went to my first Royals game of the year tonight. My goal for the year is 20 games, so if you’re in the KC metro and hankering for some Royals, hit me up. It was a good time. That new HD scoreboard is pretty sweet. They throw lots of information up there. It’ll take…
From Reuters: The image shows a pair of computerized ‘averaged’ facial photographs taken from real people’s pictures. According to the research, the face on the right is of someone who is more likely to be interested in a short-term sexual relationship whilst the one on the left is more likely to be interested in a…
Natty Light redesigned its can last summer. Within the last month, the new Busch Light cans started showing up in my 30 packs. The result is unacceptable. These cans are way too similar. The fonts are all set at the exact same angle, the amount of blue exposed at the top is almost identical, and…
Mike, Justin and I hit a couple of bars before the KU game Monday. Justin’s bladder is the size of a shot glass, do we had to duck into The Eldridge Hotel for a bathroom break between bars. The Eldridge is an ancient hotel, and its bathrooms are no exception. The men’s room had two…
April 7, 2008 – Downtown Lawrence after KU wins its third national championship.
I have some pictures and stories to share from my night in Lawrence for the Jayhawk’s national championship victory. However, I need to regrow some brain cells before I can write good. If I weren’t so confused on the definition of “irony,” I might say blogging about not blogging was ironic.
The Wii sucks at online gameplay. I come across this criticism fairly often online (an example here). I dabbled with online play with my Xbox when Xbox Live first came around. I wasn’t all that thrilled with it, but I see why so many gamers love it: They never have to leave their apartment or…
I prefer Facebook (my profile here), but I have too many MySpace friends to let go of Myspace (profile here). Two particular things joined my list of Myspace annoyances this week. 1. The MySpace “Updates” box It notifies you of new comments, messages and blogs from your friends. This “New Blog Posts!” notification has been…
More than two weeks have passed since I vowed to stay away from cable news. I had a little bit of a problem gorging on CNN and MSNBC. I’m proud to say that I’ve been cable-news free ever since. The world is already a better, quieter place.
My favorite guy in quite awhile was at Gomer’s Chicken for breakfast Sunday. This camera-phone-into-the-sunlight photo doesn’t do him justice. He enjoys breakfast by himself with a handlebar mustache and a glass of chocolate milk. He will have to lick his mustache clean when he’s done with that milk. He’s eating pancakes. He takes a…
Tons of Royals games are in HD this year. Yesterday was the first game. Channel 1496 was scheduled to show the game, but I couldn’t find it on my guide or even type it in manually. Last night, Time Warner sent an update to my box, and the channel appeared after the hour-long reboot…
In this time of economic uncertainty, Americans are tightening their belts. This presents the perfect opportunity for Cap’n Crunch to save the day once more. We haven’t seen a new variety of Cap’n Crunch since Christmas Crunch began brightening our holidays in 1988. Twenty years later, I propose Cred’t Crunch. Cred’t Crunch will strip Cap’n…
